Ai-Wen Wu Kratz

On visual art, Ezra Pound said, “Make it new.” That is, we must make art that bears our own Time Signature. Along with medicine, engineering and all other fields, art is in a constant quest for discovery. My search in the visual art is spirituality, intellectualism and aesthetics.

I draw my inspirations from literature, classical music, stage designs, vocal art, choreographic lines in ballet and modern dance. I hope my works will bring joy and relief to others.

Ai-Wen Wu Kratz


It seems to be a contradiction that such precise calculations could yield such lyrical, fluid drawings. The
Ai-Wen Wu Kratz exhibit at the Museums of the Americas shows that there is beauty in such a
contradiction. Ai-Wen has won multiple awards for her paintings, drawings and photographs and is also
member of MOCADC . Ai-Wen is an example of an artist that truly loves and appreciates art as a
meditation. She believes in listening to inner voice and knows that art can excite the senses and ultimately
change the world. Ai-Wen Wu Kratz work is on exhibit at the Museum of the Americas , in Doral Florida
through December 1, 2007
